Emotions come from a combination of forces – your thoughts, your evaluation of how much something matches your ideal, physical input from your body, and your actions.
Emotions begin in your brain, where they stimulate physical reactions that start an evaluation process. You judge a situation (or whatever is causing a certain feeling) by how much it matches your ideal. The closer it is to optimal, the more favorable your emotions.
Your body also creates physical responses to emotions. When you are scared or surprised, your body may trigger a ‘flight or fight’ response. Your heart races and you may feel flushed. These signals come from deep within your brain, where your mind is trying to protect you from danger and is preparing your body to respond to threats.
As you experience certain situations repeatedly, your body makes the determination that certain responses are appropriate, and these physical responses become ingrained. The more often you experience a certain situation, the more ingrained your response may become. And you may create an expectation of an outcome, rather than remaining open to other possibilities.
So, emotions are not just something your brain determines, and how one person feels in a situation can be entirely different from how another person may feel.
Some of my clients come to me with issues – and ingrained responses – that are negatively impacting their life in some way. They make judgement calls of the events and their reactions based on their past experiences.
Sometimes these determinations don’t necessarily line up with my outsider’s view of events and logical reactions.
That’s where Energy Healing comes in.
I can’t tell you the number of times I hear at the end of a session:
- “I feel so much lighter!”
- “I’m doing really good on the inside!”
- “More of that happiness is coming up!”
- “This is so weird – I don’t feel anxious at all!”
- “Inner calm is filling me up.”
- “I’m feeling so much better – I feel like I’m back in my body and not just in my head.”
- “Of all the things I’ve tried, this is what works best for me.”
- “This is so focused on working through RIGHT NOW. I always feel different after our calls.”
Is that something you’d like to experience for yourself? I’m here when you’re ready.
